:''This article is about the Missouri village. For the IATAN travel agreement, see International Association of Travel Agents Network.'' Iatan is a village in Platte County, Missouri, United States. The population was 45 at the 2010 census. The community is said to derive its name from Iatan, a chief of the Otoe tribe who supposedly derived his name from battles with the Comanche who were sometimes also referred to as Iatan.〔(Native American Placenames of the United States ) by William Bright - University of Oklahoma Press - 2007 ISBN 0-8061-3598-0〕 Iatan, first settled by John Dougherty in 1837, was one of the first communities to be established after the Platte Purchase allowed white settlement on former Native American land (which was proclaimed in February 1837). It was initially an important trading port on the Missouri River but was soon overtaken by Weston, Missouri five miles (8 km) to the south and St. Joseph, Missouri to the north.〔(A Directory of Towns, Villages, and Hamlets Past and Present of Platte County, Missouri Compiled by Arthur Paul Moser ) - the library.org〕 ==Iatan power plants== The community's name is applied to the Iatan 1 and Iatan 2 coal-fired power stations for Kansas City Power & Light which is the largest coal-fired generating plant in Missouri.〔(Kansas City Power & Light Awards Iatan 2 Power Plant Project to Burns & McDonnell - Great Plains Energy Press Release - December 8, 2005 )〕 The Iatan 1 plant which opened in 1980 has a 651-megawatt capacity and had a high chimney when it opened. The tower is higher than any occupied building in the state including the Gateway Arch.〔(Iatan Power Plant ) - Skyscraperpage.com〕 The Iatan 2 plant opened in 2010 and can generate 850 Megawatts with a capacity to burn 494 tons of coal per hour. The new plant has a lower high mechanical cooling tower.〔(US Army Corp of Engeineers Report on Permit No. 200200121 - January 20, 2006 )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Iatan, Missouri」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
